The Serbian-American Nikola Tesla was one of the most brilliant and eccentric people of all time. His inventions transformed the world, and include the radio, robots, and remote control. His electric induction motors run our appliances and our factories. He championed Alternating Current electricity, superior to Edison’s Direct Current, and which has made it possible to pump electricity long distances and bring power and lighting to our world. He was an absolute germaphobe – he never shook hands, and he required 9 napkins when he sat down to dinner. He spoke 8 languages and could recite entire books from memory. This is a sympathetic, insightful portrait of a genius whose tireless dedication to offer electric power to the world, and through it to reduce life’s drudgery, has earned him a place on the hall of fame.
